Mr.. John P. st. John is open to en-
gagements, as usual, at $50 night for
alleged prohibition addresses. He has
just filed three engagements in Massa-
chusetts, and he says that he is engaged
for seventeen nights in New York and
Pennsylvania. Then he goes to Califor-
min. He adds: 1--WE are fighting the
Republican party now" Exactly, that
is what st. John is doing; and as the
Republican party is in the minority in
Texas, not making it worth while for
anybody to pay for speeches against il
there, st. John did his talking in Massa-
chusetts. But there was lively pro-
hibition canvass in Texas all the same,

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST "a. 1887
THE JUBILEE OF LIBERTY.


Philadelphia's Grand Fete in September.
The progress made by the Commission
in arranging the details, and the re-
markable unanimity with which the
different State Governments have re-
sponded to invitations to participate in
celebration of the one hundredth birth
day of the American Constitution, leaves
not the slightest room for doubt that the
demonstration will be the largest and
most imposing event ever held on Amer
lean soil, barring only the great celebra-
ton of 1876. The grand trades and in
dustrial procession of September 18th

strated by working models Of the old
contrasted with the new way. Requests
for assignment to positions in the line
are pouring in on the Chief Marshal
from every field of industry in various
parts of the country.
The military demonstration of the
18th will also be most interesting and
brilliant feature. Fifteen thousand
troops OF the various States, besides de-
tachments of marines and regulars, will
be present and participate. A most
striking feature of the parade will be the
contrast offered by the Revolutionary
soldier side by side with the guardsmen
of to-day. The North Atlantic squadron
will anchor in the Delaware for the occa-
sion, and a grand naval pageant will
form part Of the spectacular ceremon-
les.
The principal event of the 18th will
be the commemorative exercises to be
presided over by the President of the
United States, and addressed by JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. The Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, the representatives
of foreign governments at Washington,
the governors Of the States, and distin-
guished people from all parts OF the
land will be present during the celebra-
ton. In addition to the events men.
toned large number of other enter.
tainments, public receptions, and special
features. will serve to make the three
days the most brilliant and interesting
ever known in the history Of the Quaker
City.
For the benefit of the vast multitude
of people who will throng to the city on
this occasion, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company will sell excursion tickets
to Philadelphia, September 18th, 14th,
18th, 10th, and 18th, good to return un-
til September goth, inclusive, from oil
stations on its system at one unlimited
fare for the round trip.

that jubilee addresses had become a drug
in the market. There were hundreds II
not thousands of them,' and, rather
than be bored by listening to them,
the Queen had ordered that they should
be placed on file, positively refusing to re-

who went about getting signatures to
these addresses gladly put themselves to

they would enjoy the supreme distinction Of

Tho Ruin Of the Dakotss.

Tho little city OF New Ulm. Minnesota, has
Just celebrated the quarter centennial Of the
most remarkable event In her history. Twen-
ty-tivs years ago last Tuesday five hundred
Sioux Indians made their last desperate at
tack upon the town. ALI that day and part
OF the next the battle ragged. More than
once the little band Of white defenders wa
vered, and tho Indians seemed on the point
Of driving all before them. The threatened
massacre and pillage were, however, averted.
The baffled Indians YEARLY disappeared be-
hind the bluff. Tho town. with its precious
though third Of the houses were In ashes
and sixty Of the brave defenders were dead
or wounded.
"wo shall winter our squaws near st.
Paul" said LITTLE CROW to his braves soon
inter the first gun In the great Sioux uprls-
Ing Of 1862. Tho prediction was fulfilled.
though not in way that gave any pleasure
TO tho willy leader Of the warriors. The bat
ties Of that bloody autumn resulted In the
forced retreat into Dakota Of all the braves
who dared not surrender. Fifteen hundred
women and children fell into the hands Of
the whites. No one who saw 1t will ever for
get tho mournful procession that trudged
down the Minnesota valley In the bleak days
OF early winter to tho prison camp at Fort
Smelling Bitterly as they hated the treach-
erous Dakotas whom they had known and
fed and befriended for years, the women who
gazed upon the woe-begone faces OF those
hundreds Of bereaved squaws and heard the
pitsous wailings OF their half-frozen children
were haunted by the memory for months.
Those were the darkest days OF our ma
tional struggle, but Minnesotians for the
time almost forgot their boys In the South.
Without tho slightest premonition, the en-
tire southwestern frontier burst into fame.
In two weeks nearly eight hundred settlers
became victims OF the scalping knife and
tomahawk. Tho greatest OF Indian wars
had begun, and In two years 1t cost the lives
OF over twelve hundred white people and
81. 0OO, 900 In treasure. For weeks after the
outbreak every town heard daily the drums
Of recruiting parties as they impressed into
the service all the able-bodied men and
horses. Every road leading toward st. Paul
streamed with fuGitivcs from the frontier,
One bold party of Indians penetrated within
twenty milas OF the State capital.
The chief Incidents Of that war have never
been adequately described. The sufferings
